Paul Johnson’s Three Key Passing Game Concepts off the Triple Option
Triple Pass is utilized when the defense forces the Quarterback to pull and pitch the ball. When the defense does this, whether they consciously realize this or not, they must utilize their safety and corner to play the Quarterback/Pitch in order to get an alley defender. This means they have just sacrificed pass coverage for run support. There are three concepts off the Triple that matter the most to Paul Johnson, and he articulated this in a clinic talk in Colorado.
1- Vertical (run against a middle-of-the-field safety)
2- Switch (this is built into the call when there is a playside safety)
3- Titan (this is an independent tag)
Utilize these concepts when the defense forces a pull/pitch as they have just sacrificed pass coverage for run support.

The Play to Run versus the Easy Stunt is Rocket Toss
The Easy Stunt is an exchange between #2 (pitch key) and #1 (read key). How the Easy Stunt works is listed below.
On Triple versus the Easy Stunt the Quarterback takes the snap, seats the ball, hops into the Playside A-gap, points the ball, gives to the B, unless 2 runs through the B or 1 can tackle the B. If so, the Quarterback reseats the ball, steps with his playside foot, replaces #1 and scores unless #2 steps at him. If so, the Quarterback parallel pitches. The key to this drill is to make the Quarterback urgently and accurately pitch the ball. Whoever is responsible for the Quarterback is running a straight line to get to him in order to make him pitch.
If you still can’t get 4+ yards running Triple versus the Easy Stunt, come back the next play and run Rocket Toss. The blitzing linebacker (#2) takes himself out of the play as he can’t recover to get on the Backside A-Back running the Toss.
Rocket Toss versus the Easy Stunt.
The answers to the test are there with the Triple Option Football Academy.
Are you looking to advance your offense in 2015 by reading Defensive Linemen instead of blocking them?
If so, call the Triple Option Football Academy at 570.332.0265.
You’ve Worked Hard All Week on the Triple Option–Now It’s Time to Call the Game
Playcalling in the Triple Option is pretty basic.
1- Run Triple Option and if you get 4+ yards run Triple Option again.
If the Triple is working, keep running it–and to the same side.
2- If you don’t get 4+ yards on Triple Option with a give read, get the ball outside with Rocket or Zone Option.
Obviously, the defense is trying to box you inside, so get the ball outside.
3- If you don’t get 4+ yards on Triple Option with a pull read, throw Triple Pass.
When the defense makes you pull the ball, the Safety and Corner have to get on the Quarterback/Pitch by sacrificing pass coverage for run support–thus you throw the ball.
You worked hard all week–now it’s time to win. Call the Triple Option Football Academy at 570.332.0265.

Explosive Plays Occur Through the Triple Option Passing Game
Have more explosive plays than your opponent, and you’ll win 86 percent of the time.
SB Nation stats guru Bill Connelly analyzed yard per play numbers from every regular-season college football game in 2013 (nearly one million plays in all) and found that teams with a per-play advantage as small as 0.5-to-1 yard win 72 percent of the time, by an average of 7.7 points. Hold an edge of 1-to-1.5 yards per play, and you’ll win 86 percent of games, with an average margin of victory by 13.2 points. The numbers get more slanted from there, up to a 5-yard per play advantage leading to a 100 percent victory rate by an average of 51 points.

Utilize Over Green Rocket Blast to Get Great Numbers and Angles on the Perimeter
The Over Green formation allows the A-Back to align on the line of scrimmage.
This gives him a better angle to down block (blast) the C-gap defensive linemen, which further allows the Playside Tackle and Guard to get around to the perimeter.
The numbers on the perimeter are more favorable in this situation, and Rocket Blast works well when this happens:

Four Focal Points to Lead Your Triple Option Offensive Reinvention in 2016
Four Focal Points to Lead Your Triple Option Offensive Reinvention in 2016
- Look at trends.
Navy went 11-2 in 2015 with 0 athletic scholarship football players and playing FBS Football.What can you learn from this phenomenon? They ran Triple Option and Zone Option 1/3 of the time and could have run these two concepts more.
Related: The Two Concepts that Make Navy’s 2015 Triple Option Offense Go
- Look at your competitors.
Competition is healthy. There are a lot of smart people out there. What are they doing? If you take the time to study what your competitors are doing, it will help you to identify gaps in your offense on which no one is focusing. Gaps lead to opportunities.
Once again, how often are you running Triple Option? Navy ran Triple Option over 20% of the time. Georgia Tech ran Triple Option over 30% of the time. Are you a Triple Option program or are you a program that runs the Triple Option concept?
- Look at your overhead.
A large number of coaches would have their job if they just spent more time studying the profits and losses. If you’re practicing a concept and not running that concept in the game, you’re wasting time.
- Drop the dogs.
The next step is the most important: Drop the dogs! When you find things that are not helping you grow, you have to shed them — fast. Drop EVERYTHING in your offense that you do not utilize at least four times a game. Arizona Cardinals’ Offensive Line Coach, Larry Zierlein says that you must run a concept at least four times/game for that concept to get that concept to work over an extended period of time. This is based on his NFL Run Studies over the last two decades. Drop the concepts that you don’t utilize in a game. Spend time on what you do utilize. Work on the Triple Option, Zone Option, and throwing off the Triple. This will help you get good fast!

Then, you can work with your Quarterback on the Pitch Phase. Start with the Easy and Blood Stunts on Triple Option.
Three stunts your Quarterback must face in practice.
1- Takes the snap.
2- Seats the ball.
3- Hops into the Playside A-gap.
4- Points the Ball.
5- Gives the ball to the B UNLESS #1 can tackle the B.
6. If #1 can tackle the B, the Quarterback reseeds the ball, replaces #1, and scores UNLESS #2 steps at him (diagram 2).
7. If #2 steps at him, he parallel pitches.

They Tripled Their Win Total and Went to the State Quarterfinals Running the Triple Option Offense
“It is never to late to make the right decision. After evaluating our offensive production the previous year, we knew we had to fix our run game. We decided to make a commitment to running the veer. We were able to set up a camp.
In 2012, we averaged 38 points a game and 400 yards of offense, finishing the year 9-3 after losing in the state quarterfinals. We also notched wins against a team our school had never beaten before and defeated the 2011 defending state champions.
One thing that I think people don’t talk about enough is that switching to this system made us better defensively also. Our ability to control the ball on offense helped us win field position and time of possession battles, and more importantly, kept the opponent’s offense off the field!”
–Jared Howell, Head Football Coach

Notable information. In 2007, during Navy’s final season with Paul Johnson as Head Football Coach, Navy ran Triple Option 27% of time, Zone Dive 14% of time, Midline (all variations) 11% of time, Rocket 11% of time, and Counter Option 7% of the time.
Triple Option remains consistent with the 2007 average.
Midline (all variations) is consistent with the 2007 average.
Zone Dive has been run less; however, Outside Veer Give and Belly have been run along with the Zone Dive in an effort to keep #1 off the B-Back.
Rocket is executed far less than in 2007; however, with the emergence of the Zone Option, now there are two ways to get the ball outside when #1 doesn’t cancel the B-Back.
Counter Option has only been run nine (9) times all season. This is 1% of the total Navy Offense.
